Over-the-top, rogue Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters turned herself in to the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office this morning on a misdemeanor arrest warrant around 10:30 a.m., paid her own bond of $500 and was soon released, according to news reports.
This arrest was for obstructing a peace officer as she refused to turn over an IPad pursuant to a warrant for the item issued by the DA’s office yesterday. Peters was believed to have illegally used the IPad to record a court proceeding for her former Chief Deputy Clerk Belinda Knisley, who is facing charges of cybercrime and 2nd degree felony burglary.

Peters’ next court appearance in this case is in March 2 at 8:00 a.m. in the Mesa County Justice Center.
This should top the national news. All major news agencies need to pick this up. Please alert all the nation’s news departments of this woman of global horror.
This woman’s behavior is an embarrassment to Mesa County.
The vividly white-haired, white-skinned face of a smiling scofflaw Tina Peters contrasts with the postmortem faces of scores of persons of color who dared resist arrest.
Why did she feel the need to record the proceedings in the first place? The video of her cowboy booted donkey kick towards the officers was something else. When you’re in a hole, stop digging.
